The number 94, a quiet locker, and a team trying to heal: Cowboys pay tribute to Marshawn Kneeland

Marshawn Kneeland, the Dallas Cowboys defensive end, was found dead on November 6 in an apparent suicide at just 24. During Monday night’s game, Kneeland was honored with a minute’s silence and a series of heartfelt gestures from teammates and fans.

The matchup against the Raiders marked the Cowboys’ first appearance since his passing. Players wore blue T-shirts bearing his face and name as a tribute, and a large photo of Kneeland lit up the giant screens at Allegiant Stadium. They also added a sticker with the number 94 – the number he wore – to the back of their helmets, a detail that is expected to remain through the rest of the season.

Inside the locker room, the Cowboys prepared a stall to remember Kneeland, complete with a jersey ready to be worn. Dallas went on to win 33–16 over the Raiders behind a strong performance from Dak Prescott and standout nights from receivers George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb.
